Is it possible to transfer (stream) video from the Note to a tv that doesn't have Wi-Fi but HDMI ports? I have an HDMI dongle for my Note but would love to get rid of the cable.

Not sure of wireless hdmi but If your TV is dlna compatible and has a LAN port then you can.
Of course you need a LAN router for that.

No LAN port, it is a generation before that, by it ha two HDMI ports, that is why I was going there might be a solution that allows me to hold my device and not be bothered by cable.

The ONLY solution (besides MHL-HDMI cable) is from HTC.
They make a box that plugs in the USB and in the HDMI (2 connections) to your TV.
You can then "send" DLNA content from your device to the HTC Box, which graphs it on your TV.
I wish DLNA death because it is fundamentally flawed.
I rather that there was a little adapter/dongle that can connect to your TV's HDMI. This is just a (dual-channel) Wifi antenna.
Then using your phone you find the (high-speed N) Wifi network and connect to it.
You obviously need to enter in the password that comes in the box of the dongle.
Then once you're connect, your phone should automatically mirror the screen and beam it over the Wifi protocol. Otherwise, through an App to start the process.
If you think its impossible, it isn't you have a lot of bandwidth on the high-speed Wifi network, enough to stream BluRay content (not sure about 4K and 3D). In fact, DLNA is actually Wifi.
The difference between what I'm proposing compared to DLNA is; DLNA sends the data of the movie/music or picture. Its very selective, and doesn't cover many codecs. The other point is DLNA has to buffer, meaning, it downloads a portion of the movie, then the Player begins the movie. In the meantime, it streams patches of the movie to make it continuous. It means you cannot scroll/fast-forward until that scene is actually uploaded into the Player. If its not, it buffers again, and you wait.
Another point is, when playing Apps, like Angry Birds that can't be pushed over DLNA. However streaming it over Wifi means it will work. Because the protocol isn't dependant on the type of file, it just sends over what's on the phone like a regular HDMI connection does. And that's what I want "wireless HDMI" not DLNA, there's a massive difference.
My frnd has this. dont know if it works with phones but works gr8 with laptops.
Re: a straightforward WiFi->HDMI I totally agree, and DLNA must die. As I have a PC plugged into my TV Id love to find a simple desktop program that can take footage from my phone, but no joy yet.

It is useful when you visit friends or family. There are other situations than just your own home where you want to consume media on a larger screen than a tab or phone.

I wonder, is it possible to connect the Note to a TV set without NHL or other wired setups? Is there any kind of dongle one can connect to the TV to receive audio/video by Bluetooth or wifi?

U can, if the TV do have DLNA and just connect it wireless.

Do you want to stream content from the phone or see the phone screen on the TV?
DLNA would cover the 1st option - the built-in Allshare app turns the phone into a DLNA compliant server.
For the 2nd option, you could either use and MHL cable with a wireless HDMI setup or use something Android VNC Server from a PC attached to the TV.

Allshare works fine. I have connected my PC, LED and phone. Cool thing to show off as well.
Thanks, the latter.I might use one of my Nokia internet tablets to setup vnc and hook it to my TV. Won't be quick enough for gaming and streaming, though.
The wireless hdmi setup requires too many things attached to the Note to be comfortable.

Allshare works fine between TV and phone, but the PC client has difficulties with shared folders. It keeps delisting my media folders, and now even unable to add any folders at all.

I have a LG Plasma TV without DLNA but with USB ports and HDMI ports.
I know I can connect my Note with the MHL cable but would like to explore the wireless options.
1) If I try to plug a wifi usb stick to the Plasma TV, will it work ?
2) If not, what are the other available options ?

Unlikely, the USB port on your TV is likely only for connecting a USB memory stick or hard-drive to display photos and possibly videos. If your TV's firmware had support for a wireless USB dongle it would also likely be DLNA compliant.
Hi thanks. I have heard about HDMI (one side) to wireless (the other side) connection for example for HTC (HTC Media Link). Do we have similar things for Samsung Galaxy Note?

Well, there's the HTC Media Link for starters!
However, this only offers DLNA streaming, not full display mirroring.
The HTC Media Link HD does offer display mirroring, but only when partnered with an HTC One X or S.

OK,
So what are the available options for me (owner of the galaxy note and a HDTV without DLNA but with HDMI).
Is it only the MHL cable then ? Any other options to mirror or wirelessly stream ?
I saw an adapter for the Galaxy III which connects to the phone through wifi direct and to the TV set through hdmi cable. It's exactly what I wanted.
Hope out works for the Note, too, when it's available.

Hi all.
I don't know why this seems to be such a difficult thing to do but I can't seem to get a straight answer.
I have a Galaxy Note 2, my wife has a Sensation XE and we both will soon have Nexus 7 and/or Nexus 10 - possibly. What I want to achieve is a way to send video content including things like netflix from our devices to our TV wirelessly.
I don't want to have seperate receivers etc for each device but I am happy for a software solution if a hardware one is not available.
Thanks
im not sure about netflix and stuff because i don't use it, but when you have any videos theres a button on the top with like a small tv and 3 lines or so all together like a little symbol, your tv provided its a samsung, should be connected on the same wifi as your phone and all you have to do is clack that button and it should work.
As for youtube which is what i sometimes use, i just pair it with the TV and it connects straight away.. really simple
This looks similar to what your after .

Sorry, what I meant was, does allshare cast work with non-samsung phones/tablets (see OP).
I don't have a samsung TV nor can I afford one.
Well, it's a hardware solution, and right now is a lil bit on the pricey side. Gigabyte skyvision ws100.
The advantage, you can use it with whatever devices with hdmi i/o capability. It seems it pretty much works flawlessly and without lag, if I had came across it couple of months before I might have bought one instead a 30m+ HDMI cable than runs from my PC to the TV in the living room. If I had, now I could easily switch between PC (gaming), laptop (movie watching), and now phones (occasional viewing of photos and stuff). And, I could use it to stream av to the projector in our bedroom.... might still consider this Christmas.
Best regards.
The device is called Allshare cast dongle. It works with any TV with HDMI port. Plugs in to the hdmi port and you connects your to galaxy device over "wifi direct" (you dont need a wifi network for this to work). Its not sold in North America (thanks to apple) but is widely available on amazon and ebay for under $100.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

I shall investigate. The problem with cables however is that the devices have different HDMI outputs (if at all) hence wanting wireless solution.

Sort of. Chromecast can show a few things (YouTube, Google Play, Hulu Plus, NetFlix) on your TV. It is controlled by an Android device (like the Nexus) but it isn't streaming it from there.
However, on a desktop browser (but not from the Nexus, that I know of) you can have it more or less grab your screen and put it on the TV. Then you can show anything but video performance is only so-so and that's if you have a screaming fast computer and network.
Why you can't do that from Android, I have no idea -- it may be because of things like Hulu being paranoid about missing out on the mobile market.

Chromecast is not mirroring. You need special apps that have Chromecast capability to stream. And currently there are very few apps that can do that (Netflix, Youtube, etc.). You can not even mirror pictures or recorded videos (yet).
There are 3 ways (that I'm aware of) to mirror (listed in order or reliability):
1. Use a long cable (wired method). You need a slimport adapter and a long HDMI cable. There are mixed reviews and many are reporting the cheaper slimport adapters aren't working well. I use the one made by Kanex and it works well, but it's on the more expensive side at about $30.
2. Miracast (wireless) - This is similar to Widi and may be compatible with some Widi units. You need a TV that has a widi adapter built-in or you need to purchase a Widi Adapter for your TV. I have a Belkin Screencast which connects to my TV via HDMI and is a Widi adapter. The latest firmware allow it to do Mracast as well. However, I had to try several times until I got it to connect. I bought the Belkin Screencast a year ago to work with my laptop, but it was unreliable as it disconnected every few minutes. Hoping the latest firmware update would fix some issues. I just connected it today to my Nexus 7 and need to do further testing.
3. Google TV (wireless) - You need a TV with a built-in Google TV box or a separate Google TV box. There are apps that you can add to both the Google TV box and your Nexus which allow mirroring. However, I found this to be unreliable. The apps really slowed down my Logitech Google TV box. Lots of lag as well.
Nothing beats the good old wired slimport cable. However, I've seen Youtube videos showing great success using Mracast with other branded Miracast adapters (maybe it's just the Belkin that has issues).
Good luck!
Just a quick question, can I switch the screen off on my mobile when mirroring to tv via slimport? I want to use xbmc on nexus to watch tv on my tv screen and use Bluetooth mouse to control it so I don't need my nexus screen to be on.

No. Slimport will mirror whatever is on your screen to your TV. If the Nexus screen is blank, the TV screen will be blank too.
Obviously a Slimport connected to the Nexus 7 is the way to go. Then it is just HDMI.
I do have a question, can you please recommend a specific slimport model where someone has had success with the airport.
Hi,
anybody tried the g pad with netgear ptv3000 (or other miracast device)?
Whats are the experiences?

I use my gpad with measy a2w miracast dongle and it works fine for streaming video or screen mirroring but gaming is a no no as there is a half second delay between tab input and TV.
Sent from my LG-V500 using xda app-developers app
Hmm, I was planning to get a Slimport adapter, but I'm wondering if a Miracast dongle would have some advantages. I mostly use mirroring when I'm in a hotel room. Chromecast devices don't work well in hotels because the WiFi network is usually segregated so that you can't get a connection from your Android device to the Chromecast and you can't set up a Chromecast connection that requires a hotspot login.
From what I understand, Miracast uses WiFi Direct, so it should be possible to connect directly from the phone/tablet and bypass the hotel WiFi connection. From what I understand, though, is that when you make the Miracast connection, you can't use the normal WiFi connection on your phone, so you're forced to stream data over your mobile data connection. That could chew up a lot of data.
Has anybody tried using Miracast in that kind of situation? What kind of experience did you have?
From wi-fi.org:
"Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast™ is a groundbreaking solution for seamlessly displaying video between devices, without cables or a network connection. Users can do things like view pictures from a smartphone on a big screen television, share a laptop screen with the conference room projector in real-time, and watch live programs from a home cable box on a tablet. Miracast connections are formed using Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Wi-Fi Direct™, so access to a Wi-Fi® network is not needed – the ability to connect is inside Miracast-certified devices."
According some non official news the Chromcast will get screen mirroring options too in the near future.
I looking forward to this.

Gamig is not an important consideration for me, but streaming (even 1080p) local videos, pictures, browser, maybe youtube vids are relevant. I've read a lot of reviews about chromecast, netgear, belkin, tronsmart, measy, actiontec etc. devices, but I did not see that it would be a perfectly functioning dongle so far.
Hiya... did quite a bit of searching, but couldn't find a lead on this. I feel like it should be doable... but the built in setting and the apps I've tried don't seem to work. (AllCast, pixel media server)

Why not just get an HDMI adapter and save the tethering data? Not positive, but I believe you need wifi to stream to the Xbox anyway. I assume you mean like Netflix or whatever? You can use the Allshare Cast Dongle without wifi but a lot of times the sound can lag behind. Keep in mind if you are trying to stream anything from your phone to your Xbox, it HAS to actually be on the phone itself, I don't even think it can be on the external SD card. This means trying to use DLNA for Netflix will never work. I could be wrong about it being on the external but I don't think so.
I'm trying to stream a local video file from my phone to my tv through my xbox360. I don't have an hdmi cable for the phone. I don't have a wireless router....just my phone and the xbox..I can get the xbox connected to my phone by tethering, but I can't figure out how to get the DLNA stuff going without the wireless router.
I feel like it should be possible. I don't need to stream Netflix or anything... just local videos on my phone to the xbox.
I'm still trying to figure out a way. Thanks

I'm not sure how WiFi direct-connect would work with an Xbox...but I've used it with a Mac at work with no problems. Kies? I'm just spit-balling ideas, as I am on CM (and have been since I got the phone home) so I'm a little out of my element. But I'm sure there's a way and it's likely down this path.
Or, failing that, head down to your local Salvation Army or Goodwill (or other thrift shop type place) and pick up a wifi router for $3-$10....I've done it many times before. If you can afford a Note3 on T-Mobile you can afford to spend $3-$20 for a used (discarded, unwanted, otherwise undesirable) WiFi router.
EDIT: or spend $5(?) for an MHL adapter to plug it into your TV directly and screw the middleman Xbox.
Yeah.... those are where I'm headed in the solution department. I just wish I could connect it to the phone via tether and then pick up the video file over that connection.
I'll keep looking for a simple and elegant software solution. I have an hdmi cable for my laptop that works ez pz... but I was going I could accomplish it through my phone.
